Books, Reference and Media

The Clermont College Library has a variety of reference and circulating resources in the collection that deal with ethics.  Most can be found in the BJ range.  Other subject-specific ethics sources can be found in Economic or Business ethics (HB-HJ), and Science and Technology (Q,T).

Perform a search in the UC Library catalog (http://uclid.uc.edu/search/X) for concepts that interest you such as:

Identify a relevant item, look at its SUBJECT heading that best represents your topic.  In this case, one subject heading is “Mass Media – Moral and ethical aspects.”  Other examples of SUBJECT headings include:  Applied Ethics, Conduct of Life, Ethics – Study and teaching, Law and ethics, Military ethics, Profession ethics, etc.

You may also limit the location to Clermont, however, be aware that this will eliminate important resources that can easily be borrowed from another UC Library or other academic library across the state.
